Random Pictures

One of our assignments is to keep each apartment current with new water filters. Here is Elder Naughton showing the difference between a clean filter and a dirty one. Our drinking water is filtered. No wonder we can't get our shirts white.

"I'll go where you want me to go, Dear Lord"

We love to buy these peanuts. We stop and they just shove them in the window, hoping you will pick their bottle. The women and children sell them along the streets. Yesterday, the lady was nursing her baby when we pulled up. That didn't stop her. She continued nursing as she jumped up to sell her bottle to us. That's what I call multi-tasking Sisters.

We had to go fill propane tanks with our Ekounou Elders after District Meeting. Each apartment has 3 tanks and we try to keep 2 full. The place we buy them is a ways away, so we take the Elders with us in our car. I shot this picture as I followed Elder Naughton and Elder Whitesides to the car. We can't usually find a parking spot at their apartment, so we park down the street.

This is a picture of Marche' Central. It is a crazy busy place to drive through. Our Elders go here to buy souvenirs.

About Me

The most precious jewels you'll ever have around your neck, are the arms of your grandchildren.
They are one of the biggest reasons I serve a mission. When hard times come in their lives, I want them to think of Grandma and Grandpa serving a mission. Hopefully, they will know that they can also do hard things and their lives will be blessed.
